nw oh
We use wet distillers which is 65% water and feed 10-15 lbs/head/day. For 200 head it will take you 16-24 days. It will last that long but be kind of rank and moldy at the end. So yeah dry distillers may be better. We finish at 1375-1400 full weight 1325-1350 pay weight. It takes 10 months to go from 500 to finish. So about 2.6-2.8 lbs of gain from pay weight to pay weight. We use a by-product mineral from ADM that we had customized. It has rumensin and then the rest is calcium and other micronutrients. No urea we get plenty of protein from distillers and gluten.
